Proposing to DroidYangon

Selection process

We’ll choose a selection of talks and codelabs that we feel add up to the most enjoyable and engaging program for our attendees. Volunteers from the Android community are invited to help us pick talks, and we rely heavily on them to help us select ones that are interesting and beneficial to our attendees. Community volunteers and conference organizers will review submissions and collectively decide which ones to accept.

Talks

Length: 40-45 minutes

We are looking for original and interesting talks that can benefit the diverse interests of our audience. Don’t feel boxed into Android-centric themes; we also love talks about development processes, cross-platform development, user experience, and more.

Workshop (Codelabs)

Length: 45-90 minutes

We’re open to all kinds of ideas, especially ones we haven’t thought of! Technical codelabs tend to be more popular, but we welcome all topics. Codelabs can be targeted at any experience level — just be sure to indicate clearly what you expect your students to already know or have experience with.

Lightning Talks

Not up for a full-on talk or codelab? Looking to give your first talk at a conference? Lightning talks are talks under 5 minutes with or without slides on almost any topic you want! Even if you’re nervous or shy, remember: it’s a maximum of 5 minutes. Sign-ups will happen at the conference.
